Transform the input character into ONE watercolor + sumi-e ink-wash BUST portrait — vertical close-up, gallery-print / cover-art tier. Character (preserve the input): keep the exact face, hair, eyes, expression, signature accessories, and outfit so they're instantly recognizable. Bust framing — chest-up, face fully visible and dominant, eyes near the upper third; a slight recompose (head turn, gaze shift) is fine but identity stays true. For multi-character inputs, keep only the most prominent face as the sole focus. Style — hybrid watercolor + sumi-e ink wash on visible paper grain: real pigment behavior (granulation, soft bleeding edges, wet-into-wet transitions, controlled blooming, dry-brush on hair tips and cloth edges); sharp ink-line accents of VARIED weight on key features (jaw, eyes, hair flow, folds) — never uniform; crisp focal contrast on the face, looser painterly handling on sleeves and outer hair. Vibrant but not garish — deep shadows, washed-pastel highlights. Background: warm off-white paper-toned ground, no literal scenery from the source. Behind the head, a kinetic halo of ink splashes, drips and splatters in 2-4 colors drawn FROM the character's own palette (adapt per character; never default to one fixed set) — energetic but never covering the face or eyes. Mood: match the character's energy — fierce subjects get dramatic high-contrast splatter, serene subjects soft light and gentle drips. Avoid: text, logos, signatures, watermarks, borders; multiple equal-weight focal faces; identity drift; warped anatomy or extra limbs; flat digital gradients, vector outlines, anime cel-shading, or 3D/CGI; full-body or landscape composition; muddy uniform color; background overpowering the face; literal scenery copied from the input.
